One of the longest-running independent online music magazines. Our writers include freelance music journalists and musicians; together, we’ve been championing intelligent, uncompromising voices in contemporary music since 2004 (including folk, jazz, ambient, and experimental genres). Alongside our written content, KLOF Mag has always maintained an audio presence (we began life as a 24-hour radio station). Today, this takes the form of weekly on-demand Mixtapes (visit our radio page) and Playlists (available via Apple Music, Tidal and Spotify), showcasing new releases as well as music from the past.
KLOF Mag Selects
We also publish KLOF Mag Selects, a Substack Bestseller and companion publication. It is read by music lovers and music makers, such as Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, who said:
“I’ve learned about most of the music I’ve loved over the past couple years from the fine people at this publication.” — Colin Meloy (The Decemberists)
